New Life Online: Rise of a new Empire

Hunt the air

Rake's POV:

As Azura told me, I went to the windy labyrinth and explored for a while. It is called the windy labyrinth because the strong gusts of wind are able to push you around in different directions.

As I looked downward, I saw a huge hole on the ground. But this hole shot strong air currents skyward! This must be it!!!

Rake: HOLY IMPULSE!!!

SWOOOSH!!!

I went directly into the hole and was shot upwards into a floating island. On the middle of it, there was a small pillar with a riddle. Well then, a riddle it is...

Die without me, never thank me. Always watching, never speaking. Always lurking, never seen. What am I?

Azura: I told him to use the breath one, but No. He would always be like Air is the answer! Blah blah blah...

Amadeus: You're kidding right?

Amethyst: You do realize that you have just given him the answer to the riddle... Right?

Rake: Uh.... Air?

???: well done.

A green skinned man wielding a double edged blade appeared from thin air.

Imperos: I am Imperos! The wind obelisk. Why have you awakened me from my slumber?

Rake: I have come to get you to join me. And for that, I need your soul gem.

Imperos: Wait... Are you the guy who has been collecting the Obelisks?

Rake: Yeah! Do you know about me?

Imperos: Of course! You just go and kill my brothers and sisters!

Rake: No! You got it all wrong!

Imperos: No! AEROBLAST!

He began to spin his dual edged sword so fast that he was able to create a massive wind blast!

Rake: Ack!

Rake went flying upwards!

Imperos: WIND SLICER!!!

He spun his sword again, creating several slash waves which were too hard to dodge!

Rake: Argh!!! How is this guy weaker than you?!?

Azura: He can only attack with his blade silly!

Rake: Oooh...

Mordekaiser: seriously?!?

Azura: I did it again didn't I?

Everyone: Yep...

Imperos: Hahahah! Tired?

Rake: Uh no. Not really. Now's my turn! SHADOW OBELISK's WRATH!!!

BAAAAM!!!!

My robes turned black. And underneath them was a purple and black armor. In my arms, there were two pointy chains, ready to impale my foes.

Imperos: So you beat Amadeus right?

Rake: SHADOW OBELISK's CHAIN GRAPPLE!

The chains in my arms grappled his.

Rake: SHADOW OBELISK's SLINGSHOT KICK!

Using the force from the grapple, I kicked the Air obelisk in the ribcage, ripping his arms apart.

Imperos: You! Argh!!!

Rake: So, no hard feelings right?

Imperos: ...

Rake went back to normal.

Rake: Well then, I think its time for you to meet your friends.

Imperos: HAHAHAHAHA! RAGING WIND BLAST!!!

BAAAAAAM!!!!

Rake: Breath magic! Ack!!!

Imperos: I learned this trick from a friend long ago. I guess it's time for you to meet your maker!

Rake: Tsk! 1/4 of my HP gone... Just how powerful was that attack?!?

Imperos: Argh!!!

Rake: Huh?!?

Kaiser: Howdy Rake!

Rake: Kaiser what the hell are you doing here? Wait... Are you drunk?

Kaiser: Uh... No....

Rake: Then why are your cheeks red?

Kaiser: Well, yes. I'm drunk, you can thank one of Dhalia's friends for that...

Rake: Anyways, Thanks for killing that boss for me.

Kaiser: Don't worry about it. Actually there are two things you must know...

Rake picked up the soul gem and absorbed it.

Rake: Sure! Go ahead!

Kaiser: Well... Since I'm drunk I'll go straight to the point...

And so, Kaiser explained everything about Dahlia (beatcr 's series)

Rake: You can't be serious! Does Michael know about this?

Kaiser: Yes. We both went to drink after we found out.

Rake: Well, thanks for telling me. I'll tell the others as soon as I can.

Kaiser: Actually, keep this to yourself. If too many people know it could be bad for us and for Dahlia.

Rake: Don't worry Kaiser. My lips are sealed tight.

Kaiser: And the other thing I wanted to tell you was, The Avenger met Logan. He sends his regards. (ShanksSalvatore )

Rake: ... He works for Maximus now... I don't know if I should trust him...

Kaiser: Look, he just sent his regards! It's been a while since any of us has heard about him! Even if he works for Maximus, I'm sure there is a catch to it... Maybe he only does it because of the war.

Rake: Yeah... Please, send him my regards as well.

Kaiser: Sure! Also, I recommend you to go to the Ecass Isles. Thunder activity has increased there.

Rake: Thanks! I'll go there right away!

And so, Rake and Kaiser went to different locations. One to capture the obelisks, and the other one for more... Serious business...

Will Rake be able to get all the elemental obelisks? Just who is this Avenger? Will Kaiser appear again? Stay tuned for the next chapter of: New Life Online! Rise of a New Empire!
